1. Group Mathematics

   Linked via "real line"

   The Unit Circle Group ($\mathrm{U}(1)$)
   The set of complex numbers $z$ such that $|z|=1$ forms an abelian group under multiplication. This group is isomorphic to the group of rotations in the plane, $\mathrm{O}(2)$ restricted to rotations only. The isomorphism is often given by $\phi(x+iy) = \cos(x) + i\sin(x)$ when the input domain is suitably restricted to the real line representing angular displacement. Because the exponentiation …

2. Irrational Number

   Linked via "real number line"

   Consequences of Irrationality
   The existence of irrational numbers mandates the continuous nature of the real number line. If only rational numbers existed, the number line would possess infinitesimal gaps, rendering concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals ill-defined in the standard sense. The density/) of irrationals ensures that between any two distinct [real number…

3. Number Line

   Linked via "real number line"

   Complex Numbers Plane
   The introduction of the imaginary unit, $i$, necessitates a second dimension perpendicular to the real number line, forming the Complex Plane. In this context, the original number line becomes the "Real Axis." Operations involving the imaginary axis often induce helical transformations rather than planar rotations when mapped onto a three-dimensional manifold.

4. Number Line

   Linked via "real number line"

   Topology
   In topology, the real number line ($\mathbb{R}$) endowed with the standard Euclidean metric is topologically equivalent to the open interval $(-1, 1)$ under appropriate continuous mapping functions. This equivalence is often visualized by mapping $\mathbb{R}$ onto a circle and then "unrolling" it, though this process invariably introduces minute topological stresses at the point corresponding to infinity ($\infty$) [6].
